The 920 calorie breakfast burritoPosted Oct 15th 2007 7:40PM by Marisa McClellan What has 920 calories, 60 grams of fat and is designed to "really fill you up?" That would be Hardee's newest addition to their breakfast menu, the Country Breakfast Burrito. One flour tortilla contains two eggs, crumbled sausage, diced ham, bacon bits, shredded cheddar, 5 hashrounds and a big ladleful of sausage gravy. Poking around in Hardee's nutrition calculator reveals that many of their other breakfast items are nearly as nutritionally treacherous (the Monster Biscuit clocks in at 790 calories and 57 grams of fat). And just to confirm that we like our calories cheap and empty, this breakfast burrito is widely available for just $2.69. (For those of you without a Hardee's in your vicinity, it's basically the same thing as Carl's Jr. Oddly though, the comparable breakfast burrito on the Carl's Jr. menu has just 820 calories and 53 grams of fat. I guess they figured folks out west would want a slightly lighter version). |

Only thing is: eat only 1 per week....and for the rest of the day, drink water and eat raw carrots and celery. Posted at 2:53PM on Oct 19th 2007 by Zzythyr 24. Hopefully i won't be able to consume the whole thing at one sitting if i were to try it. The guilt would make me feel fat. Posted at 2:53PM on Oct 19th 2007 by riya 25. Hopefully, if i tried it, i wouldn't be able to consume it all in one sitting or the guilt alone would make me feel fat. Posted at 2:57PM on Oct 19th 2007 by riya 26. Well it is today's world bad to eat like that.But the way they filled their face then is sort of the same as it is now. Go to any pancake house Or Mom and pop Egg and Bacon Joint in the the U.S. Posted at 3:04PM on Oct 19th 2007 by Richard 27. Can I have 2 burritos with a DIET COKE.......LOL Posted at 3:04PM on Oct 19th 2007 by vinny 28. MMMMM That looks good, there was a time when that would have been a good and healthy breakfast, needed for an honest and hard days work, but since the automobile came around nobody seems to be able to get up out of their seat or off their a_ _ and do some real work. How about we start to look for honest hard working food and people and stop looking for the quick fix. Posted at 3:05PM on Oct 19th 2007 by Jack 29. This is why America has the most obese people in the world. Posted at 3:09PM on Oct 19th 2007 by cheri 30. yuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuummy! can't you just feel your arteries clogging? :D Posted at 3:15PM on Oct 19th 2007 by K 31. Some people can handle 920 calories, generally on account of strenous physical exercise or they are blessed with good metabolism. However in the long run, greasy, fat choked food will take its toll on the body by way of choked arteries, high blood cholesterol and blodo pressure. Posted at 3:18PM on Oct 19th 2007 by Roy 32.

HAVING A FAT ZONE TACO BELL ON EVERY CORNER ISN'T ENOUGH, NOW WE HAVE HARDEES'S AND CARL JR. TO ALSO GREASE THE PITS. WHEN I THINK OF PUTTING THAT GARBAGE IN MY MOUTH I GAG. Posted at 3:30PM on Oct 19th 2007 by ALAN 35. Ohh...it's making me hungry. I don't see any problem with eating fatty food, and I'm actually glad that it's available when I want it. Then again, I have a rare disorder that makes it hard for my body to store calories as fat. It all ends up getting dumped. (Even after 12 hours of fasting my u.a. is at a +5 for sugars. I'm not diabetic. I've been tested many times.) When I was younger I would eat shortening by the spoon full because I was craving fat. I grew out of that. Now I just put loads of butter on everything. I had a balanced diet too. At meal/snack times I loaded up with fruits, veggies, grains, and hearty meats. I also drank 16 gallons of whole milk each month. I'm 5'8¡± and could never get my weight over 130 lbs. (If you think that's bad, you should see my sister. She's 5'5¡± and can't get over 105 lbs) Doesn't matter how much I eat, I just don't gain weight. I was often asked if I was anorexic. Still, it's the cholesterol I want to know about. My disorder doesn't help dump that, and with as much as I eat, I really have to look out for it. I have a family history of high blood presure.

Who is to blame if you are over weight.....YOU are, stop making peoples personal problems the rest of the world fault.....I don't think obese people are force fed.....If more people would take responsiblity for there actions instead of blaming it on others the world would be a much better place....

I don't even eat 2000 calories a day, so this breakfast is very calorie dense with little nutritional value for me. are Hardee's and Carl's Jr. trying to promote obesity? I'm so glad I don't have either of those restaurants in my neighborhood. Posted at 4:09PM on Oct 19th 2007 by coolkitty110 39. 900+ calories! Hardee's should be ashamed of themselves to come up with the triple by-pass breakfast all wrapped up and ready to go. Posted at 4:09PM on Oct 19th 2007 by mccray35453 40. Sorry but that grosses me out! My husband would probebly love it but me? No way, looks and sounds yucky. Posted at 4:09PM on Oct 19th 2007 by rosie |
